Countering conventional wisdom that says the labor market is being "hollowed out" of good middle-skill jobs. It uses the LEHD which is a great new employer-employee linked dataset that I hope to be able to use for my dissertation.

I'm reading it for a literature review I'm writing for work for your "New Unemployment Project" - which is a series of publications on unemploypment in the Great Recession.

Octahedron - I haven't read it yet. I've been thinking some recently about Posner's "conversion" to Keynesianism, so I was thinking of picking it up.

So I can't recommend one way or the other. I've heard the book is a little hurried (understandable given how quickly it came out), but obviously Posner is a thoughtful guy. I won't get to it any time soon.
